With Intel phasing out 2 products lines at once the price war is really hitting AMD hard in the pocket book forcing them to drop prices as well to stay competitive in this new price per watt fight. Also with the resent announcement of Intel moving its Quad Core CPU's to Q4 of 2006 has given AMD another gut shot.
In response to Intel’s new strategic actions, AMD announced yesterday that they have excelled their transition to 45nm fabrication to Early 2008 which is roughly 8-12 months behind Intel. By doing this AMD will be closing an already 18 month lead time to roughly 1 year. Also AMD wanted to let us know that their progress on their new technology K8L will still be ready for a mid 2007 launch. K8L is AMD's quad-core processors which is rumored to use far less power than Intel’s Core Duo technology & should outperform Intel's upcoming offerings.

AGP isn't dead yet and graphic chip developers and add-in-card manufacturers are responding to apparently still existing demand. Nvidia quietly launched an AGP version of its 7600 GS with first cards surfacing today.
According to Nvidia, the new cards offer the same specifications as the PCI Express versions, including a 400 MHZ core clock, a 400 MHz RAMDAC, twelve pixel pipes, five vertex shaders, 256 MB memory and a 128-bit memory interface. The company said that depending on the manufacturer, 7600 GS AGP cards will be priced between $160 and $200.

In AMD's and Intel's massive game of Risk, Intel has taken another continent with it's announcement to push their Quad core Line to Q4 of 2006. Quad-core processors "Kentsfield" on the desktop and "Clovertown" on the volume server side will be the big cannons for Intel this time around.
